Some questions on results of blood tests

[Damndocs]

EOD 30Mg test cyp. SubQ .29g needle

695 Total Testosterone. (195 before TRT)
193.4 free Testosterone ( off the charts high)
SGHB 13
E2- <15.
(Was 65) before taking .5 E3D of Anastrole
Psa .08
Hemoglobin 16.4
Hemocrit 50.1
RBC 5.84

I have been on this protocol for about 4 months now. I feel a little better with energy and less tired and a small decrease in anxiety.

Some questions:

Is free T too high?

I’m thinking of increasing dosage to about 40mg eod for 8-10 weeks to see how I feel. While I feel slightly better nothing extreme.

Is free T too high?

Sometimes less is more, often guys get trapped into higher is better. I think you'll feel worse with higher Free T levels and is one reason E2 was so high.

I think you'll feel better with a lower free T level.

Thanks. For the reply system lord Maybe drop it to 25 eod first.

If in the months to come you don't find yourself feeling significantly better, may I suggest you try Jatenzo, a twice daily oral testosterone capsule.

The reason I recommended is your low SHBG and the injections can be problematic keeping hormone levels constantly elevated where is Jatenzo peaks in just 2 hours and 12 hours later hormone levels are at their lowest allowing E2 to decline.

Did you feel better with your E2 at 65?

Did you feel better with your E2 at 65?

Vince. I think so. I thought of this a few days ago. Doctor had me try to lower E2 and I think I felt worse when it went lower. I’m going to skip the anastrole for a little and see before Messing with the test cyp dosage

Ok so your free testosterone isn’t extremely high it’s only very high compared to the basic average males range of usually 3.5 - 15.5 if you’re using quest. Which is not the healthy range for men on trt . Our synthetic hormones don’t work in those same ranges . We want to aim for more in the 20-30 range of free test usually for most men to eliminate all symptoms . The culprits here is 100% your lack of estrogen and low shbg. Estrogen is EXTREMELY necessary for feeling good both mentally and physically and sexually . It needs to be in a proper percentage of your total testosterone level usually around 5-6% is that perfect sweet spot. It’s all about balancing hormones . This would be a Around 35 for you . I would only take .5 of armidex ONCE per week and see how that goes I am almost certain you’ll feel so much better with a normal estrogen to testosterone ratio . Also if you don’t feel better with a balanced estrogen to testosterone ratio switch to daily injections since your shbg is so low like mine it will mitigate the lowering of it and allow your testosterone to be carried better into your tissues and brain muscles ect ect instead of flowing out of you so quickly . Best of luck

And lastly i would not increase the dose yet. Fix the estrogen balance first try to get it to 30-40. And when I said your free test should be 20-30 , that is converted. 20-30 also means 200-300. You’re at 193 or 19.3 . Once you balance the estrogen and may choose to increase I would only do 35. 40 is a big jump for such frequent dosing. Just my advice !

I think so too. I think you've reduced Estradiol too much.
